The transition period is the most critical period where cow’s metabolism shifts from the demands of pregnancy to those of lactation. This results in negative energy balance especially in early lactation. To meet this demand both long chain (α-linolenic acid) or short chain (butyric acid) fatty acid were supplemented to Karan Fries crossbred (Tharpakar x Holstein Frisian) dairy cows starting one month before parturition to one month after parturition. Various biochemical markers like NEFA (non-esterified fatty acids), BHBA (Betahydroxy butyrate), BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen), TRG (triglycerides) and creatinine were estimated in plasma samples of both control and supplemented cows. Results revealed significant improvement in most biochemical markers of fat supplemented cows compared to the control cows. Plasma glucose increased significantly (P Not Available |
